The first trailer for Mass Effect 3 has been shown at the Spike VGA 2010 show, confirming the EA Store slip-up which listed the game for pre-order yesterday. The trailer shows a besieged Earth under attack from a new enemy.

The trailer lists the game for a Holiday 2011 release. No platforms were confirmed, but it's likely PC and Xbox 360 are definite for that date.

Here's my pessimistic side talking; Mass Effect 3 will be a big step closer to Modern Warfare and we won't even be able to play as our prior Shepard character, let alone a new one. Instead It will simply import that data as reference for the overal story and we'll take on the role of someone that's on earth during the attack... A solider. A "default" character.

If this is the case and I can no longer travel around the galaxy as Shepard and instead this is Mass Effect : Black Ops, my NERD RAGE will have no restraints.

Anyways, I like a good shooter as much as the next guy, but seriously, I hope they don't streamline this one more so than Mass Effect 2 and it ends up being only a FPS with absolutely nothing remotely RPG-ish.

  how can you even suspect that? you've been given nothing except internet hearsay to support that.
  
  ME2 spoiler: the only way you won't play as sheppard is if you got sheppard killed at the end of ME2.
